9 Reasons Why You're Tempted To Cheat

8. She let herself go If she isn't as attractive as she once was, it's natural that your eye may start to wander. If you've done the same, then you likely have no right to complain. But if you've maintained your appearance and for some reason or other, she's begun to make whales look anorexic, chances are that you may be tempted to step out on the relationship.

Solution: You have three choices here: you can leave her, cheat on her, or you can tell her that it's time to get her butt into gear and start taking better care of herself by working out with you.

9. You're afraid of commitment Sometimes the thought of getting married and having children is too much for even the most mature guy to take and, in effect, he ends up in the arms of another woman.

Solution:If you end up feeling this way, rather than run in the other direction, face the issue head-on and let your girl know that you may not be ready to delve into marriage and kids so soon. If she can't accept it, then perhaps you'd be better off single and free to step.

it's our instinct

So why are we prone to cheat? Instincts. While women refer to theirs as intuition, men's instincts are considered to be beyond our control and are mostly hormone-driven. Now don't think for a second that this a valid excuse to stray in the eyes of the ladies.

No woman will watch as you sift through journals of DNA tests of monogamous animals. Our biological predisposition still isn't a reason to cheat — we are capable of making a conscious effort to be faithful.

cheating hearts

Unfortunately, sometimes she may not even be the problem. Be honest with yourself first, and then with her. Don't try to be someone you're not because if she fell in love with the guy you're pretending to be, you'll have to act that way through the entire relationship. If she doesn't like who you are, then you don't need to cheat on her — you need to break up with her.
